Pearl of Wisdom

'A hypocrite prohibits [wrongdoing] but does not refrain from it himself, and he enjoins that which he does not do himself. When he prays he complains, when he bows (ruku') he slumps, when he prostrates (sujud) he pecks [prostrating so fast], when he sits he spreads himself out, when he is going to bed his only concern is food even though he is full, and when he wakes up in the morning, his only concern is sleep even though he did not stay up during the night. When he speaks to you he lies, when he makes a promise he does not fulfil it, if you entrust him with anything he betrays it, and if you disagree with him he backbites you.'

is there any special dua for curing this type of illness.

Answer: An invocation for mental disorder, it's narrated by Uthman b. Said al-Qattan narrated from Sadan b. Muslim related from Muhammad b. Ibrahim, who said: A man came to Abd Allah, peace be upon him, said: Recite this prayer when you go to bed:

In the Name of Allah, and by Allah, I believe in Allah, and disbelieve in the idols. O Allah, protect me in my sleep and my wakening. I take refuge in the Might of Allah and His Magnificence from that which I suffer and fear. The man said: I did it and was cured, by the will of Allah, the Exalted.

From him, peace be upon him, that he said: Whoever is afflicted with a mental disorder, let him seek protection on Thursday night with this healing, beneficial invocation. Then he mentioned the like of the previous hadith and said: It will not recur. Recite that at dawn after seeking forgiveness from Allah, and after completing the night prayer.
